Architects invited to Library Board session

The board has not hired Brames and Blume and will not interview them as the project’s architects during the meeting,

Quarry S.C.A.T. members, saying that he found out about the quarry next to his property when the heat generated by a geologist’s truck caught a field on fire and endangered several nearby houses. He advised the townspeople to contact their legislators about the quarry and to be alert for any advantage they might take. “You find help in the unlikliest spots, so always be on the lookout,” he said, pointing out that finding a famous person or the relative of an influential person buried in the Cloverdale Cemetery could help in the fight. The Cloverdale Cemetery borders the area leased for quarrying by Martin Marietta. Town residents protest the stone quarry’s close proximity to the burial site saying blasting could damage graves and the cemetery’s historic church. SHY SUGGESTED the videotape show scenes of the 175-year-old cemetery, children at the nearby Cloverdale Elementary School, and families going to church interspersed with scenes of dust from stone crushers and rock-hauling trucks. Letter-writing campaigns to area media could also bring attention to the issue, he said. Honesty will also be the best policy. Shy said. Using accurate information and keeping track of any discrepancies in statements by Martin Marietta officials will strengthen

THE PUBLIC IS invited to comment on the project at Wednesday’s meeting. During the March meeting of the board, library trustees Harriett Dobson, Kay Greeson, Suzanne Bates and Sharon Evans voted 4-0 to accept a bid from First Citizens Bank for a line of credit loan. If needed, the board can borrow up to $60,000 at 6.85 percent interest from First Citizens Bank to cover library operating expenses. The board decided in February to seek the loan since County Auditor Myrtle Cockrell notified the trustees that the library would probably not receive any advance draws on its tax distribution because of the delay in property reassessment. The loan can be repaid with the June tax disbursement.

of the $5.5 million renovation/expansion project. Because of that, they will be the owners of the new part of the school, and the GCSC will buy that portion of the building from the building corporation under the terms of the lease. HOWEVER, THE board will also hear the Elementary Advisory Council’s grade structure recommendation on May 3. The building corpaation will meet at 6:30 p.m. May 9 to review and approve the form and terms of the lease. The school board will hold its regular monthly business meeting at 7:30 p.m. May 9.

Other citizens were also encouraged to help in the effortin other quarry-related matters, S.C.A.T. members learned that Martin Marietta has officially applied fa a permit to access U.S. 231 via a private driveway. The drive has been moved 70 feet south of the lane now used, Smith said. Accading to a drawing submitted with the application, an average of six to nine trucks hauling crushed stone will leave the quarry every hour, and 80 percent of the truck traffic from the quarry will be northbound. SMITH SAID HE plans to accompany County Commissioner Don Walton and Town ClerkTreasurer Ruby Barnett to a meeting next week with State Highway Department officials about the access request.

Putnam scanner Indiana State Police Michael Skates, 32, Route 1, Reelsville, was arrested at about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday by Trooper Jason Fajt of the Indiana State Police Post at Putnamville for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated as a felony and for possession of less than 30 grams of marijuana. Skates reportedly tested .19 on an Intoxilyzer, which measures blood-alcohol content (.10 is considered legally drunk in Indiana). He remains in custody at the Putnam County Jail. Correction It was inaccurately reported in Tuesday’s Banner-Graphic that Ridpath Principal Paul Luken said the K-2, 3-5 grade distribution plan would help lower class sizes. Luken pointed out that the grade distribution plan, by itself, does not accomplish this goal, although it will help create more even enrollments from classroom to classroom. The proposed plan would split students in grades K-2 between Jones and Ridpath schools, while students in grades 35 would attend Northeast School.

Coalition of Putnam County will present another in its series of discussions and lectures on drugs in our society.
